Dennis: Could you give us a hint why it is problematic to use
self-esteem as an outcome? Does this also apply to confidence
ratings? SS

You should be aware that self-esteem is a potentially problematic
idea to
wrap your health promotion actions around. You may wish to consider
the
monograph:
HP-10-0104
Self-Esteem and Health: Should it be a Focus?
Dennis Raphael, Ph.D., C. Psych, University of Toronto, Canada
$20.00, 1993, 35 pages
Examines the relationship between self-esteem and health status and
health-related behaviours. Reviews recent health-related research
focused
upon self-esteem as an indicator of health, a mediator of life stress
and a
reinforcer for health-related behaviours.
The Series in Health Promotion is a collection of educational
monographs
produced by the Centre for Health Promotion in co-operation with
ParticipACTION. Resources can be ordered by printing the order form
